In the middle of the Copa América in Brazil, a security agent of the Uruguayan selection was arrested for alleged acts of sexual harassment on a Conmebol employee.
It is a mysterious press release that the South American Football Confederation (Conmebol) published on Monday afternoon. In the middle of Copa America, the body posted a text in reaction to “a complaint for sexual harassment against a member of a delegation” participating in the tournament.
“La Conmebol remains attentive to the resolutions issued by the judicial or administrative authorities dealing with the complaint and will strictly comply with what they decide,” she explains, before repeating her opposition to any form of harassment.

While the competition has already been marked by several cases, from the turbulent relocation in Brazil to the multiplication of Covid cases through the Arturo Vidal controversy, this sex scandal is working. But according to the South American press, it does not concern a player.
According to several media, including Globo, it is a security agent of the Uruguayan selection who would be involved. The latter allegedly tried to kiss a Conmebol employee in a hotel, and offered her money in exchange for sex. He was arrested on Monday by local police in Cuiaba, where Edinson Cavani and his compatriots are currently staying.
